<p>I have spent a lot of time playing my oboe with many organizations and I know I'm good enough to play on the university level. But I am NOT applying to be a music major of any kind.</p>
<p>Will the Art Supplement then be useful in my application or will they simply discard it because I'm not formally studying music in college?</p>
<p>I'm concerned because getting ready for and doing a recording is stressful and takes many hours; hours that I could be spending writing the 4 application essays (not to mention SCHOOL related work). I have less than 2 weeks for the Nov. 1 deadline. Please advise, thank you.</p>
<p>it helps most for music majors - actually, it's usually required for them; for non-music majors, it only helps if it's near-perfect. or that's what i've heard, anyway. so, be honest with yourself. if you think you could make an amazing recording without killing yourself, go for it. if not, it's probably not worth it, especially with everything else you have going on. they'll see you spend a ton of time with it from your EC section anyway.</p>
<p>Ok, well to make it near perfect I'd have to sacrifice on the essays. So I don't think I'll do it.</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch.</p>
<p>i'm sending in a CD...but the quality of the sound is not so great since i recorded it using my dad's sony mp3 player...</p>
<p>i hope that's okay</p>
<p>btw, i figured they wouldn't really want to listen to an hour of instrumental music, so i just recorded two songs, about 7 minutes. however, i think it might be a little different for me since the instrument i play is chinese...</p>
<p>does anyone know what the admissions officers do with arts supplement (like, if they receive a tape/tape)? do they only give it a listen and throw it away? or do they send it away for professional analysis/judgement? lol</p>
